Title: Changing Tide Aquatics (Findlay,OH)
Post by: Mussin on June 15, 2013, 20:52:57: Just wanted to let everyone know about a new SW fish/coral store opening up in Findlay, OH.. Its called Changing Tide Aquatics. I stopped by there this weekend to drop off my 10G nano I got rid of and checked out their store. Very impressed! Lots of fish and corals. I think they are opening june 9th, not sure though. I know they are open tomorrow for 1 day. My buddy and coral guru Heath works there so you know the stuff will be top notch! Here are some pics I took.

Post by: Mussin on June 15, 2013, 21:05:03: I bought a nice little brain coral. Its a tad bleached as they got it from a less than ideal tank. I think it should color up nicely as all my brains have great color.
